Luton Town’s FA Cup tie against Forest Green Rovers has been chosen for TV broadcast by TNT Sports.

The Hatters’ tie will be the first match of the First Round, with TNT Sport moving the match at Kenilworth Road to Friday 31 October. The match will be a 7:30pm kick-off.

Forest Green Rovers’ 4-1 victory in Sussex against Worthing in the FA Cup qualifying rounds means that the side from Gloucestershire managed by former Welsh international midfielder Robbie Savage will be making the trip to Kenilworth Road. They currently sit 5th in the National League table.

The match will be Luton’s first FA Cup tie under the management of Jack Wilshere, who was confirmed as Luton manager last week as a replacement for Matt Bloomfield.

Luton will be taking on Forest Green Rovers for the first time since 2018, with the Hatters having only met Forest Green Rovers once before during the 2017/18 season, at a time when both teams were in League Two. Luton won both contests that season, with the match at Kenilworth Road ending in a 3-1 win for the Bedfordshire-based club.
